About this episode

The episode features a humorous take on football discussions, including a farewell to manager Jens and an interview with club icon John Sutton.

A chaotic, laugh-out-loud instalment as hosts Crofty and Peter try a minute’s silence … then immediately unravel into classic banter—complete with Crofty adopting a Canadian accent just to survive a Tim Hortons order. But amid the madness, there’s real football substance: a heartfelt goodbye to manager Jens after an 11‑month spell and his move to Toulouse, plus an in-depth, story-rich chat with club icon John Sutton on Motherwell highs, European nights, dressing-room characters, and why Scottish youth development is at a crossroads. Key highlights A “minute’s silence” experiment that becomes a running joke about audience drop-off (and who lasted longest). Farewell to Jens : hosts react to his departure after a formal approach from Toulouse, with compensation and terms “finalised” after 11 months. Gary Muircroft vs Tim Hortons : the Canadian-accent order attempt (hash browns, vanilla dip doughnut…and a “tangerine quencher”) becomes instant episode folklore. Guest arrival chaos : John Sutton is “in the house” and joins as the star guest. [ Who next for the dugout? Talk of Europe-based feelers, debate over Scottish options, and a shout for Barry Ferguson. John Sutton’s journey…
